    So is the thinking that the age of the domain is less a function of the create date and more a function of when Google first crawled it?

    I’ve got URLs that are over 10 years old, based on creation date, but have do not show in the Web Archives until my most recent bringing them to life.

    Learn something every day. Just waiting to learn something that impacts positively! LOL!

    Thanks, RM

    Aged domains can save you months of hard work, giving you a foot up in your niche. You can gain leverage with aged domains as Google gives more confidence in older sites, some can also be purchased through Domainka.com
